Interesting UPI photo of the test run for the new Washington D.C. Metro subway system. The press release reads "WASHIGNTON D.C. ; With Washington's first subway system scheduled to officicially begin operation on its first section March 27, one of the Metro trains makes a practice run on one of th elevated tracks a few blocks from the Capitol (background) recently." No exact date for this test run was given so the official first day date was used. |
